Coaches aren’t just looking for the most talented player they see. They’re looking for the right fit—just like you are. You might be the best catcher at a tournament, but if your dream school already has catchers lined up for your class, they’re probably not going to recruit another one. Recruiting isn’t just about talent. It’s about timing, roster needs, positions, academics, personality, and whether what you bring matches what they need. If your skills don’t fill a hole in their roster, it may not be the right fit for either of you. Don’t take that personally. The right program isn’t looking for the “best” player. It’s looking for the right player.
